loads of lower tier tickets still 4 sale

have been checking ticketmaster to see if sales are low and maybe this is why the rumours are starting... you can get up to 8 tickets together in various places on the lower tier... maybe this affects things? is this why the rumours are starting? anyone could do this and start the rumours off it... I am really hoping this is going to happen but I am trying to figure out why rumours are starting and if there is any possibility....

does anyone know anything about the sales? WOLFY???

I noticed that too. It does seem a bit odd they're still offering lower tier at this late stage.

wolfy dont know jack!

but you may be right, rumours get started as people especially the press love to bring stars down, heck they like to bring ordinary folk down!!

Its more likely TM strategy as has been discussed at length in here.

Its to prevent touts buying up all the best seats, its also a way of selling the back seats first and the upper tiers. They did it with the 02. This is also how the sold out in first hour rumours get started too, as people think its sold out as they can only get hold of crap seats. Trouble is the stars then seem to believe their own hype! they advertise it as sold out which encourages the touts to hike their tix prices even higher, so its actually a vicious circle. (a bit like the gold circle will be if its GA, watch out for elbows and handbags! lol)


Dont panic it wont be canceled, its highly unlikely this close to the gig.

Plus if it does, there will be a massive orger party anyhow and you'll have lovely Dublin to explore and you'll get a refund from TM, so whats to lose?
